Said I didn't appear to federal court jury summons and an arrest warrant was issued. After questioning him (and he spoke very poor English with horrible grammar) about it, he hung up the phone.
Just received a message from this number saying I didn't appear to federal court jury summons and an arrest warrant was made. The person spoke poorly as well and eventually hung up. Very disturbing to get this call. He mentioned a $989.00 bond.
This scam has been around the block a few times. Technically its a extortion attempt to get money from you! If they had issued a warrant, you would not get a heads up on it, they would have arrested you. Of course they would have wanted payment ala green dot card or similar untraceable means.
